Lyrics
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better life
Waiting your time, so much more than just a wife
You don't have to do what your mother has done
She has done
This is your life, this new life has begun
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave
Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave
Find your brothers or sisters who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your way
It's your day, a woman's day
It's your day, a woman's day
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, more than any man can do
Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal
Maybe he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel
You had to be so strong
And you do nothing wrong, nothing wrong at all
We're gonna break it down
We have to shake it down, shake it all around
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma Yergon, Sou Nou Yergon, we are shakin' the tree
